There was talk earlier that it might not be on now that there's really only a 2 week lead to the game, problems with organization, etc. Not sure if there was any real decision made or not, but there was at least the talk about not having it in its current form.

Link? This would be a shock, from my perspective at least. Can't believe the league did not prepare for this in advance.

According to the story, he was on the field training with the Galaxy the day before the second Sounders game in his second full practice with the team, so he's only just getting back into it. I can't imagine he can jump right back in there and get back up to speed without even so much as a reserve game to work the kinks out. He'll have been out of action for two months.

+1. Well ACB, set something up ASAP, otherwise here is a solution: in next season's MLS Cup Playoffs, the nine teams that have a chance at hosting MLS Cup need to determine a location and date to host the event, as well as plan out the program itself. That will be done through the main supporters' groups of the teams. The fact that there may not be a summit it because this was not planned ahead of schedule.

I really don't feel like betting against Robbie Keane right now. He's the biggest handful in MLS right now, he's feeling it and pounding them in, and he looks like he's loving every minute of it. I'm betting Bruin shrinks a little bit in the spotlight, whereas Robbie is just looking for a chance to do a somersault.

I don't know enough about Bruin, but as for Robbie Keane, can't disagree with you. At all.

I am currently watching the first leg of the Apertura Liguilla semis between Leon and Tijuana, and I realized that the Los Angeles Galaxy's biggest key to victory is this: score two goals in three minutes. That means cheese up the counterattack and establish better team speed.

If Los Angeles can dominate possession, outrun Houston, win a sh*tload of the duels and score two goals in three minutes (preferably in the first half), it will be an insurmountable mountain for the Dynamo to climb.

Why is the ESPN ad for this game so bad? Seriously - it's like a kid did the motion graphics. I love their opening montage segments, so why are the ads so terrible? Probably a different agency, but man...yuck.
